Jeremiah 20:1
|
|
Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who
was chief officer in the house of Jehovah, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:2 |
|
Then Pashhur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and
put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the
house of Jehovah. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:3 |
|
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashhur
brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, Jehovah
hath not called thy name Pashhur, but Magor-missabib. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:4 |
|
For thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will make
thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends; and they shall fall by the sword
of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it; and I will give all Judah into
the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon, and
shall slay them with the sword. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:5 |
|
Moreover I will give all the riches of this
city, and all the gains thereof, and all the precious things thereof, yea, all
the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies;
and they shall make them a prey, and take them, and carry them to Babylon. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:6 |
|
And thou, Pashhur, and all that dwell in thy
house shall go into captivity; and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou
shalt die, and there shalt thou be buried, thou, and all thy friends, to whom
thou hast prophesied falsely. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:7 |
|
O Jehovah, thou hast persuaded me, and I was
persuaded; thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am become a laughing-stock
all the day, every one mocketh me. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:8 |
|
For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, Violence
and destruction! because the word of Jehovah is made a reproach unto me, and a
derision, all the day. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:9 |
|
And if I say, I will not make mention of him,
nor speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning
fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with forbearing, and I cannot contain.
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:10 |
|
For I have heard the defaming of many, terror
on every side. Denounce, and we will denounce him, say all my familiar friends,
they that watch for my fall; peradventure he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail
against him, and we shall take our revenge on him. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:11 |
|
But Jehovah is with me as a mighty one and a
terrible: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail;
they shall be utterly put to shame, because they have not dealt wisely, even with
an everlasting dishonor which shall never be forgotten. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:12 |
|
But, O Jehovah of hosts, that triest the righteous,
that seest the heart and the mind, let me see thy vengeance on them; for unto
thee have I revealed my cause. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:13 |
|
Sing unto Jehovah, praise ye Jehovah; for he
hath delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evil-doers. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:14 |
|
Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not
the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:15 |
|
Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my
father, saying, A man-child is born unto thee; making him very glad. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:16 |
|
And let that man be as the cities which Jehovah
overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting
at noontime; |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:17 |
|
because he slew me not from the womb; and so
my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:18 |
|
Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see
labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame? |
